If money were no object, what would your dream retirement look like?

Each month, we delve into the details you need to take action. We share our contacts. We lay out the pluses and minuses. And we keep you up-to-date on the latest developments in the best overseas havens.

There are many reasons for moving to Mexico: the people are welcoming, the cost of living is low, and buying real estate in Mexico is safe and easy.

Proximity to the U.S. is also a bonus when considering a move to Mexico—especially for those who have friends and family there, travel back and forth for business, or spend only part of their time living in Mexico. Several airlines have direct flights between many Mexican and U.S. cities.

If your move to Mexico involves retirement, Mexico makes that easy. Retirement visas are granted liberally and one can achieve Permanent Resident status without transitioning through the Temporary Residency process. Visas are easy to obtain and the process begins at the Mexican embassy in your home state or province.

Because Mexico is so big and geographically diverse, it offers all kinds of climates and spectacular sceneries. Whether your dream view involves gentle waves rolling on the blue ocean, majestic mountains, reflections of sunrise on a lake, or the lush greenery of the jungle, you can turn that dream into reality by moving to Mexico.

Mexico offers the perfect mix of centuries-old traditions and contemporary lifestyles. Once you have moved to Mexico, you can still have all of the amenities you grew accustomed to in North America: cable TV, high-speed Internet, and modern home appliances. And, if you prefer, when you move to Mexico you can even bring all of your favorite things with you without paying import taxes.

Everyone seems to agree: your quality of life improves in Mexico. Goods and services cost less, so you can afford the kinds of luxuries only the very wealthy enjoy up north: a maid, a cook, and a gardener, for example. Then you have time to read, volunteer, golf in the mornings, relax on the beach…time to savor life.

Be honest with yourself before committing to move to Mexico. Does humidity bother you? Are you prepared to live in a place where English is not the first language? Will you be able to adapt to a different culture? If you are ready for a change and looking to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle, then may just be for you.

10 Reasons to Move to Mexico

If you’re looking for a life filled with stunning beaches, rich culture, excellent food, and a laidback lifestyle, we have the ideal place for you—and you don’t have to look far.

Within close proximity to the U.S., visits from loved ones or popping back home is simple and affordable from Mexico. You can even drive here.

The low cost of living—and just about everything else—means a comfortable, fulfilling life will cost you a fraction of what you pay in the U.S.

Scottie and Jim Watson love their life in Playa del Carmen. “We indulge ourselves. We have a cleaning lady, which I wouldn’t have in the States. They also add, “It’s less expensive to exist down here.” Property taxes are much lower. They pay just $200 a month and put their savings towards other things; “Instead of paying $6,000 to $8,000 in property taxes, you travel.”

From real estate to groceries, and from entertainment to healthcare, life here simply costs less.

Tim Leffel and his family adore their new life in Guanajuato, one of Mexico’s prettiest towns, “I really love the pace of life, the emphasis on family and fun rather than wearing ‘busy-ness’ as a badge of honor,”

And healthcare is still affordable, too. “Since healthcare costs are reasonable, there’s no fear of a doctor’s visit costing more than a car payment either.”

In Puerto Vallarta expat Tricia Lyman says, “People are friendly… You can’t help but wake up with a smile in this sunshine.”

There really is something for everyone in Mexico. “The culture and architecture are exceptional and we’re surrounded by beauty: from the beaches on the Pacific Ocean Bay to mountains covered by lush green jungles”, says Tricia.

If you’re looking for a great place to retire, where there is excellent healthcare, friendly people, and gorgeous surroundings…Mexico might just be the place for you.
